Where to Watch Romeo + Julieta de William Shakespeare
- Terry Phan29 de septiembre de 2025You already know it: GCSE. You might’ve watched or heard this movie, you might’ve not. However this is a great starting point leading up to the Romeo & Juliet exams for GCSE. This is an obviously heavily modernised version of the play but still nevertheless very good.

Yes you have to remind the children that in Shakespeare's 1590s setting in Verona in Italy they did not have machine guns, cars and LA bling. But the story, the characters, the language is easy to study especially with English sub-titles. They are exposed to the text which is the point of making them study classic literature. As a movie version of a Shakespeare play it is superb. Teenagers really enjoy watching the young stars acting out this story. Magnificent direction. Yes the most studious will voluntarily read and re-read the text. Yes they need to do this to excel. But many teenagers these days are not naturally comfortable with newspapers and plays in their hands. Put it on smartphone or tablet and they will read 'War and Peace' at one sitting. Especially if you throw in some pictures. It was a play written to be performed not read. The themes, story, were meant to be king. Not the technology of the day (horses not cars, daggers not machine guns). A great gift for a teenage relative especially if they have to study this for exams. Do remind them it has sub-titles in English. If I had to compare it to say a really worthy version of Hamlet by Mel Gibson when he was super hot after Lethal Weapon, well great actor as he is and great Shakespearian actor as well, and with such a great director and supporting cast, well it was boring and a trial to watch. If they had put in a motorbike chase then it would have had some excitement as this Romeo and Juliet version certainly does. Shakespeare in original language and 1590s setting works well on the stage but not the screen. Update the language, keeping the story or update the setting as this version of Romeo and Juliet does.
